Hello,

Does anyone know of any great people in selling used lathe space in Norfolk. Seems to be nothing.

There’s the Bantam I mentioned previously in Melton, who claim to offer delivery, but I know nothing about the company or the condition of the machine.

That’s Melton Mowbery, NOT Melton Constable, and not in Norfplk. Noel.

There is a CVA Toolroom lathe for sale in Kings Lynn for £800

400v 3 phase that could no doubt be changed.

In your other post regarding sourcing a lathe, you mentioned being willing to travel within England. There is a Boxford VSL for sale in the latest edition of MEW free ads. It’s in Wakefield, has a spindle bore greater than your required dimension and is reportedly “well tooled” at £1000 o.n.o. I am assuming that it’s still for sale, of course.

Your choice of lathe will depend on what you intend to make on it.

(You can’t turn 11″ brake discs on a C1 size lathe, nor would you easily make watch parts on a Chester Crusader).

Size does matter.

Obviously, your budget, and the space available will influence your choice. If possible, take someone with you, who is experienced, when you go to inspect a possible purchase.

Shiny paint may look nice, but won’t fix wear!
